Acura 2010 TL Navigation - Manual (Page 14)

Getting Started
14 Navigation System
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the
Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the
TALK button. To control your
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the TALK button. A
pop-up voice icon will appear in
the upper left corner of the screen.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command. (Voice
commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command
and prompts you for the next command.
Using the
TALK button, answer the
prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give
a command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform
a command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, a
beep will sound.
You can fi nd out which voice
commands are available for a particular
screen by saying “Help.” The system
will display and read the list of
available commands to you. (When
Help is grayed out, this feature cannot
be used.)
When you speak a command, the
system generally either repeats the
command as a confi rmation or asks you
for further information. If you do not
wish to hear this feedback, you can turn
it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the
Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in SET UP.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please
use the
Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface
Dial ,” the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice
control system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition
when using the navigation system,
the following guidelines should be
followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page
158 .
• It is best if the windows and sunroof
are closed. If they are open, speak
a little louder to overcome the wind
noises.
